Date format not working in SQL editor, "ORA-01843", not a valid month (4275106)

I just upgraded to SQL Navigator 6.5 from 6.4.

SQL Navigator for Oracle 6.5 does not fire ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format= using the format customer specifes in the session preferences.

WORKAROUND:

1. Create a SQL file having the content of the following:

1. ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='MM/DD/RRRR'; Save the file on disk.

1. Open SQL Navigator for Oracle preference window from menu: View | Preferences
   1. Drill to Session | Auto run script at connect.
   2. Click/Select Auto run script at connect Click the "..." (ellipsis) button to navigate to the folder
   3. Select the SQL file created in point 1.
2. Tick the option below: Drill to Session | Auto run script at connect | Close script on successful execution
3. Close SQL Navigator for Oracle
4. Launch SQL Navigator for Oracle again. Please note, in the .SQL file in point 1, the nls_date_format can be changed to any other date format if required.

STATUS:
Waiting for fix in a future version of SQL Navigator for Oracle.

SQL Navigator for Oracle 6.5 uses the date format setting in the database which one can find out the format by running: select to_char(sysdate) from dual
